RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE FOR LEAGUE ANNUAL CONFERENCE. .
Dear City Official:
This year's League. Annual Conference is scheduled for October 22-25 in San
Francisco. One very important aspect of the Annual Conference is the General
Business Session at which time the membership takes action on conference
resolutions. It is important for California cities to take the initiative
in developing positive. programs-.
for, the future. - Annual Conference
resolutions will guide cities and the League in our efforts to improve the
quality,. responsiveness and-vitality of local government-,within this ..state.
All cities should be 'represented at the Business ._Session on, . Tuesday
afternoon, October 24, at 2:00 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco.
To expedite the conduct. of.business--at this-important policy-making meeting,
each. City Council- should. designate. a voting representative and an alternate
who will be present at the Business__ Session. The ,League Constitution
provides that each city is entitled to one vote in matters, affecting
municipal or League policy. A voting card will be given to the city official
designated ,by the City Council on the enclosed- "voting. delegate. form. " If
the Mayor•.or-a member of the City Council. is in attendanceat_the Conference,
it is expected that one of these officials will be designated as the .voting
delegate. However, if_the City Council will not.-have a registered delegate
at the Conference but will be represented by other city officials, one of
these officials should be designated the voting delegate or alternate.
Please forward the enclosed ^voting delegate form" to the -Sacramento office
of the League at the earliest possible time (no later than September 30,
1989) , so that the proper records may be established for the Conference. The
voting delegate may pick up the city's voting card in the League Registration
Area at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco.
If neither the voting delegate nor alternate is able to attend the Business
Session, the voting delegate or alternate may pass the voting card to another
official from the same city by appearing in person before a representative
of the Credentials Committee to make the exchange.
An outline of the voting procedures that will be followed at this conference
is printed on the reverse side of this memo. It is suggested that the Mayor
and all Council Members from a given city try to sit together at the Business
Session so that, if amendments are considered, there may be an opportunity
to exchange points of view and arrive at a consensusbgf�Qe, pity's vote
